Iraq promises to free 120 hostages, some Americans
The Associated Press
Iraq yesterday promised to free 120 hostages, including a few U.S. citizens, but U.S. officials criticized Saddam Hussein for his use of the weapons in ambush navy envoys who have been seeking to free them.
State Department spokesperson Richard Boucher said U.S. officials had not been notified yet about plans to free any U.S. citizens. He denounced Iraq's "cynical bartering" of captive foreigners trapped by Iraq's Aug. 2 invasion of Kuwait.
Iraiqi officials did not say when the 120 would be freed, but they suggested it would be soon. The announcement marked the second time in two years al-Mughajd agreed to release a large group of convicts.
Tatcher told British lawmakers they must send the Iraqi president the message that "either he will we and our allies will remove him by force, and he will go down to defeat with all the consequences.
Afterwards, Iraq's information minister, reacting to her saber-rattling words, said she was now a terrorist. "We're all in the same boat," she
And in some of her strongest remarks about the 3-month-old Persian Gulf standoff, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher warned Saddam that time was running out for a peaceful solution.
In a statement carried by the official Iraqi news Agency, Minister Latif Nassafjavl Jaims said that Thatcher's statements in general on the gulf crisis were true to low and did not help the office of prime minister.
Her speeches "filled with rancor and hatred toward the Iraqi people, and her continued calls for beating the drums of war unequivocally show her anger at the injustice and brutality but her mental balance," the statement said.
Jassim said the only explanation for a woman advocating war was that "the devil has found a comfortable dwelling within her mind and conscience."
At the United Nations, diplomats said the United States had drafted a Security Council resolution authorizing the use of U.N. military force against insurgents, the measure would be an unprecedented step.
But the draft has not been circulated to other Security Council members because Secretary of State James Baker is still trying to line up support for the diplomas, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The 48 aircraft will be removed from Clark Air Base along with more than 1,800 Air Force personnel, leaving a U.S. military airlift command unit, training units and special operations forces at Clark, the Pentagon said. Between 7,500 and 8,000 U.S. Air Force personnel are based at Clark.
The decision was conveyed to Philippine Foreign Secretary Raul S. Manglapau by Richard L. Armitage, the presidential special negotiator on U.S. basing arrangements in the Philippines.
In Manila, Manglapas described the planned pullout as a partial victory.
future of Clark and five other U.S. military facilities in the Philippines.
A leasing agreement about U.S. use of the installations is scheduled to expire in September. Mamla wants the U.S. military phased out by then, but the government proposes a withdrawal period of 10 or 12 years.
Armitage arrived in Manila yesterday to resume negotiations with Manglupa today about the
President Corazon Aquino has set a January deadline for completing the negotiations.
The U.S. statement about removal of the 48 fighter aircraft said that the decision was unilateral and not a result of the base negotiations. It added, however, that the decision was influenced though not dictated by Manila's publicly expressed interest in the U.S. aircraft should be withdrawn by September.
